Your truck is getting some killer parts! Congrats! I can't believe one guy flipped about a dash bezel that houses 2012 era gauges. Era correct? They laid frame in hay fields back in the day, not on the streets yo! Keep up the great work!

Sweet! Are you gonna wait till I get back up there?
Dang...I was just in Eureka Springs for the VW show last weekend. I could have dropped over there for dinner.

That was some spectacularly bad service...

Sometimes, well more than sometimes I wish I lived out west to see some of your guy's trucks. There are plenty of trucks in Ohio but not like out west. Your thread is great. The truck is great. I bet you can't wait until this one is featured in a magazine or two.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

i hope the balast doesnt get so hot it will melt the ziptie , not sure how hot those things get the plate will prolly act as a heatsoak anyway
the aftermarket xenon ones get pretty hot , they allso burn through when you start the car with the lights on , sumtin to do with a temporary drop in volts

Hi Mike - The truck is looking awesome! I also like zip ties and seen some stailess steel ones at Harbor Freight the other day. Keep up the good work. Wayne

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

You're not in a hurry are you, it's only been nine years! I say screws, but that plate you're using is pretty thin to be tapping threads. Maybe some little nuts and bolts? Please, not the ty-wraps! All them little bits are looking sexy. How close are you to that bedwood!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

The issue is clearance on the back side of the plate, I have to keep this low profile enough that my front panel will still go on without touching it, it will all be hidden by trim panels .

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

maibe you can weld on small nuts or a small bolt/little length of treaded rod on the side where the devices will sit and mount them a little of the plate that way nothing sticks out the back , it might be a bit hard to keep the plate level and not have it warping on the visible side though.
